About OSR
Open-Source-Simracing.com (short OSR) is a small “Do It Yourself” community project by me, Attila Kiss. I am a automotive engineer from europe, a hobby racer on real race tracks and virtual race tracks in sim racing simulators. Sim racing is booming and every day new products coming on the market. Sometimes they are just not affordable or don’t offer the solution you are looking for. My idea with OSR is creating individual solutions from the community for the community. I am hoping you find the content helpful and you will enjoy following my journey.
OSR Setup Tool
Open Source Racing Setup Tool is a small community web app project for racers. The idea is to support you to improve your car setup, driving and knowledge. Think of your personal setup engineer who logs your tweaks and gives you advices. Future plans include a fully guided, interactive initial vehicle setup guide that will allow you to build your own custom vehicle setup from scratch. Actually, the web app runs in beta version. I would be very thankful any feedback on this content to improve you experience.
OSR Sim Rig
At the latest with the use of Direct Drive steering wheels and Loadcell pedals, it is recommended to use a Sim Rig due to the higher input forces on the steering wheel and pedals, since the attachment of a Direct Drive steering wheel to a desk, an office chair and the pedals on the floor do not offer sufficient stability. A Sim Rig is a frame in which you can mount your steering wheel, pedals, or even a seat, and which is ergonomically designed to resemble a race car. The Sim Rig precisely absorbs the steering and pedal forces you apply, without anything slipping or wobbling, so you can concentrate fully on driving.
